Wind-powered air compressor

Why isn't there one of these at Real? Or at a kite house in Cumbuco? Or at your beachfront house?



Let the wind do the pumping.

I see you didn't live on or near the beach.
To answer your question- there is one reason for that: Maresia
That thing would be down within a year (most likely after 6 months already). Unfortunately...

what is the meaning of Maresia for you? I look it up in wordReference and it's a portuguese word that means sea smell

Hi,

Sorry- air packed with salt and water. It destroys everything which can corrode.
